    Full disclaimer: Kamala Harris should do neither of these things.

    But, just imagine the chaos that would unfold if she picked Hillary Clinton. The right would probably have a total meltdown about it lol. Hillary is widely disliked so it would be a disaster electorally speaking but MAGA would have a collective aneurysm about it on social media. The conspiracy theories would run wild.

    Kamala also has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever, which is to introduce her new VP as (drumroll)

    Tap for spoiler

    Joe Biden!

    Again, this would also be a bad choice electorally speaking.

    Both are things she shouldn’t ever do lol. I think Kelly, Shapiro, Beshear and Waltz are the most likely picks that will help keep her momentum going.

      Hillary is deeply unpopular with democrats as well though. She’d only drag the ticket down.

        Oh of course! It would be an electoral disaster. Any of the enthusiasm democrats got when Biden passed the torch would be instantly erased.

    It’s misleading to call it betting odds when the graph shows “chance of wining.”
    With low chance you get high odds, so the numbers are the exact opposite for chance vs odds.

      The chart is the betting-implied probability (=1/the odds). There’s a direct relationship between the two. I reckon most people would understand this given the chart of clearly labelled as the probability.
